Eight world-class athletes.
Three rounds of extreme mini golf.
One winner, and a final putt
that's gonna be worth a quarter of a million dollars.
Hi, everybody. I'm Joe Tessitore.
And I'm Rob Riggle. This is...
Both: Family Night on "Holey Moley 3D."
"In 2D"!
♪♪
It's a brilliant night here at "Holey Moley."
You know, tonight's Family Night,
so our extraordinary competitors,
they're all related.
I mean, there's really nothing like the fun
of extreme mini golf bringing a family together.
Or rip them apart.
Even worse, it could turn into a vicious bloodbath.
That's very dark.
I can already tell that corporate is gonna be like,
"You can't have families fighting, yeah."
Now, you can run a 57-year-old into a rib
and have her whiplash and snap backwards...
Absolutely.
...and nearly drown in mud, but you don't say family fight, right?
You can't say the word "fight." Families don't fight.
Yes.
Here's how it works.
In Round 1, family members face off against each other.
The winners will then represent their family in Round 2.
Only two players progress from there to the third round.
That's where you play for a spot in the season finale,
where one of our champions will make a putt worth
a quarter of a million dollars.
Let's check in with Jeannie Mai
to tell us about tonight's opening hole.
Mai: Thanks, Joe!
Golfers, it's time to load up your best putt
and send it shooting through the giant pinball machine.
If you make it into one of the Holey Moley holes,
your ball will shoot out onto the green.
Once you putt, you've got to get yourself across those flappers.
If you fall into the drink, it may not be game over,
but it is a stroke penalty.
Thanks, Jeannie.
-Whoo! -Whoo-hoo!
Let's check in on our first two family members.
You can watch this.
Alright, alright.
I thought ladies first.
Uh-oh, are these people married?
'Cause they're already talking like it.
Tessitore: They are engaged to be married.
Zach Gleysteen playing against
his fiancée, Amber Gazzolo.
Zach: Greetings, y'all. I'm Zach Gleysteen.
I am the South Dakota Slayer,
'cause when people come against me,
I put them in the golf grave.
I'm a Class A PGA professional.
Anything that has to do with golf, that's what I do.
I'm here competing against my fiancée, Amber.
My name is Amber Gazzolo. I'm known as Grip It Girl.
I am the founder of Grip It Girl,
a girl's golf brand.
My first date with Zach was golfing.
It was like love at first sight.
[ Romantic music swells ]
We have a lot of fun going out there and just golfing together,
but I get really, really competitive.
The battles have gotten heated,
so there have been a few car ride homes
where someone is not talking to the other person.
Zach: Amber, she is the love of my life,
but I'm not afraid to put her in the golf grave.
Don't tell her I said that.
[ Crowd cheering ]
Wow. Swinging for Uranus.
Tessitore: Zach Gleysteen, who says,
I want to be referred to as
the South Dakota Slayer of mini golf.

Oh!
She almost had the ace!
Ohh, she had it! She had it!
She could have taken him down right there,
as it came out of Uranus and almost went in.
This thing could have been over right there, Riggle.
Zach saw his whole life flash before Uranus.
Ohhh.
Now she's got to make the jump.
She has to make this here.
How did you do that?
Come on over, baby.
And he's taunting.
I'll give you a big kiss if you come over to my side.
I don't know that that's really a reward, Zach.
I don't feel this is happening.
Ugh. She's already talking herself out of it.
Real slow approach.
Aah!
Oh, gosh!
No!
That was horrible, Riggle.
She couldn't have hit that obstacle any worse.
Oh, take us through it, Riggle.
Oh, well, what happened is what always happens.
They find themselves
on the descent.
I want you to see this.
What are the chances?
Zero.
Exactly. No chance whatsoever.
Zero. Zero.
Now the sad part is, her face.
Aah!
Just smack-o.
She's gonna be sore.
Now, you know what would be even worse than that?
Is if she looked over and Zach was laughing.
Yeah, that could threaten the nuptials.
Zach, Zach, don't laugh.
Don't --
Oh, God.
That's the worst thing you could have done.
Does he know he's on TV?
Look how big his mouth is laughing right now.
She's gonna kill him when she sees this.
This is so bad for their marriage --
But it's so good for us.

So, Amber Gazzolo sits 2.
Zach lies 1.
Zach will be putting for the win.
That's a long putt, sweetie.
Zach has a putter that he says is his pride and joy.
He's had it for nine years.

Serena's out in front.
What has happened?
They have to get to the bone.
Oh!
It's a race to the finish!
Oh, who got it?
That was unbelievable.
That was truly awesome to watch.
I mean, there was splashing. There was mud.
There was violence!
There was wipeouts.
It was kill or be killed.
It was like spring break Miami all over again.
It was.
Did you see the fall that Megan took?
Yes!
Right here. There! Look how high.
Look how she is kissing her kneecap right now.
That's unbelievable.
I'm surprised she didn't pull a hammy.
Meanwhile, Serena head-bounces into the mud.
And she came out blinded by the mud
and just started swimming in any direction she could,
and that's what allowed Megan to get back in the race.
By the way, did Megan come up with the win there?
This is close.
Watch Megan.
Hand up, but no touching of the bone.
There's no touching of the bone.
Okay, now --
And then they -- Ohh!

Now here's the deal -- we're just waiting on confirmation
as to which Hou sister got her hand on the bone first.
Hold on, we're getting the word right now...
What?!
...from Course Marshal Colin.
You can hear Rob's reaction.
No.
Course Marshal Colin says Serena won the race,
that she gets the better ball position here.
Someone get his sunglasses cleaned,
because he missed the call on that.
You argue against that all day long,
incredulous to the fact with his judgment.
Well, let's take a look at the replay,
because that's classic Course Marshal Colin jerkdom.
I mean, that's the only word that comes to mind.
Here it is, Joe.
Right here in front of us.
And she just misses.
Oh, there's touch there.
Nope.
Yeah, there's touch there.
Oh.
It looks like Colin's ruling is actually the correct one.
He doesn't know the rules about anything.
Look at his hair. Look at his glasses.
Look at his hat. Look at his beard.
Just look at him.
His whole life is winging it.
Serena: Alright, come on, Megan. You got this.
Megan Hou has the worse ball position,
so she will be putting first.
You know, interesting, Rob.
She started as a lefty and then she switched
and started golfing right-handed because a coach told her to.
Is there anything you do better
with one hand rather than the other?
Nope.
Megan lining it up.
Ohh.
It's going side to side, almost slaloming.
It's taken a really awkward ride.
It took such a circuitous path.

Okay. Okay. I'm okay with that.
When it hits the bone like that...
Yeah.
...and it pops over, it's called a boner.

"I have an extreme Hot Cheetos addiction."
A lot of red-hot Cheetos were devoured

You got to feel great if you're Zach.
That tee shot, he muscled the ball,
and by doing that, he made it to the back of the green
and now he's got that straight putt.
And just by sheer luck,
he managed to avoid the rhombuses.
Rhombases.
Rhombuses.
You know, I learned it in grade three,
and I've never forgotten it.
Yeah.
The South Dakota Slayer putting for the win.
Let's do it!
He makes this putt, he is in tonight's final.
Ohh!
Yeah, baby!
And Zach Gleysteen has made it
to tonight's final round of "Holey Moley."
Love it!
The South Dakota Slayer will play for the Golden Putter,
the plaid jacket,
and a step towards a quarter million dollars.
I hope South Dakota Slayer
doesn't put his putter in the air.
Whoo!
[ Thunder rumbles ]
You switched out my coffee mug again?
What's that? Oh, Joe.
Friends for life, is what I say.
Raise your glass, please, to my good friend Joe Tess.
Drinking coffee tonight, not pee.
[ Needle scratches ]
Only one more family member can move on
to the final round and the battle for that coveted spot.
It happens right here on Hole Number Two.
Golfers start by teeing off
down the narrow path towards the green.
Then our golfers are gonna have to avoid
the porta potty doors as they make their way to the green.
If you fall in, it's a stroke penalty.
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's a Round 2 matchup --
we have 21-year-old golf prodigy Stephanie Fernandez
against Aussie Ben Rogers.
Tee shot for Stephanie Fernandez.
She has won multiple tournaments,
competed in the Junior Worlds.
Now a very, very difficult putt lies ahead.
Oh, boy.
Oh!
That ball's in the mud. She can play that.
You think she can get down there with her putter
and play out of that?
I'm not saying it would be easy.
She's got to get ready. She's bouncing around.
Oh, God, please help me.
You can't hesitate. You have no time to waste.
She's going in the mud.
[ Air horn blows ]
Oh.
[ Screams ]
Ohh.
Oh, Sir Goph got her and then gave her the chomps.
Ooh, she's not liking that.
Nice.
She's cold and now dirty.
Ugh.
Oh, it's all in her face.
That's gross.
[ Bubbling ]
Ben Rogers, The Aussie.
Says "Holey Moley" is for closers
and he's a salesman, considers himself a closer.
♪♪
Ben Rogers locks in.
What?
Wow. That was terrible.
Yeah, maybe "closer"
is a different way of saying "horrific."
I think maybe he was trying to show Stephanie
that he could do worse than she did, somehow.
He's got to make up for it right here,
see if he can avoid the stroke penalty.
[ Air horn blows ]
Oh, he thought he was gonna make it!
That's the best, Joe,
is when they think they're gonna make it.
Yeah.
But then we know they're not making it.
See now, right here. See the look on his face?
He's like, "I think I've got it!"
Shabang. And a taste -- last door.
That was super fun. That was special.
What do you make of this drop zone position, Rob?
It's gonna take a lot of razzle dazzle.
♪♪
Look at this, Ben Rogers wrapping around.
Settling in.
Bring it in for a nice landing.
Right, Rob?
Sure.
Wasn't really watching, to be honest with you.
It's your job to watch.
♪♪
Stephanie Fernandez from the drop zone.
Remember, you have two ramps that are in play here.
Ben: What?
That did not go as planned.
Far too much.
The ball is actually eight feet behind her.
How in the world can you strike a ball forward
and it ends up behind you?
I don't know how it happened.
It's behind her.
Can I think about it and get back to you?
Yeah, send me an e-mail.
Stephanie Fernandez. She has to focus.
Cannot have anything go wrong here.
♪♪
[ Crowd groans ]
Oh, she did it again!
She put too much pepper on it.
Oh, that was horrible, Riggle.
What a bad break.
What was happening there?
I don't know, but she lies 4,000.
Ohh!
Oh!
Wow!
That was amazing.
That was great, Stephanie.
Go back to that, please.
After those two putts, she does that?
I know. This is unbelievable, Joe.
It was an amazing putt. Way to close it.
That's a closer.
That is a closer.
That's a closer.
Stephanie cards a 5.
Ben sits 3 and is putting for the win.
Sorry, I can't read it from that side.
He's so cold.
If Ben misses this putt, then he's putting for the tie.
Nothing's over till it's over here, Joe.
Expect the unexpected at all times.
Oh, there's a win!
Let's go! Let's go!
Whoo!
There's a win for Ben Rogers on "Holey Moley."
The Aussie will play in the final round
and a chance for the Golden Putter,
the plaid jacket, and a quarter million dollars.
Yeah, baby!
[ In Australian accent ] He says, "Yeah, baby."
Is that Austin Powers?
He said, "Yeah, baby."
Austin Powers is from the UK.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't get it.
He's an Aussie.
Why is he going "Yeah, baby"?
[ Chuckles ]
Do the face for that again.
Yeah, baby!
That?
It's great.
Thanks.
I get lots of compliments at parties when I do that.
Yeah?
Yeah, baby!
Tessitore: Welcome back to "Holey Moley,"
and it is time for the main event.
Who's gonna take home that Holey Moley plaid jacket,
that Golden Putter,
and who's gonna have a chance at a quarter million dollars?
It'll all be determined on The Pecker.
Golfers will putt from the stump,
hoping that they can grab a channel
for a potential hole in one.
Then they launch themselves onto the bobbing head of the pecker.
If you do not get the red feather
atop the back of the pecker's head,
it's a stroke penalty.
This is the moment that so many have been waiting for.
Let's do it!
Whoo! Let's go!
Tessitore: Tonight's finalists are ready.
We've got 33-year-old PGA pro Zach Gleysteen
up against 28-year-old Aussie Ben Rogers.
Oh, my gosh. What is this?
It's the biggest pecker you've ever seen.
[ Laughs ]
Zach Gleysteen, he'll be up first.
The South Dakota Slayer.
Ohp!
Misses it.
Get lucky.
Slowly making its way down here on The Pecker.
Takes the bounce.
Oh!
And he's on the right side of the green,
where that hump will be in play.
Now he faces the pecker.
Has to try to get that red plume,
that feather on top of the head of the bobbing pecker.
Gleysteen eyeing it up.
Got to get a good launch here,
see if he can get high on the pecker's head.
♪♪
Gleysteen --
oh, he's gonna get it!
He's gonna get it!
Did he get it?
He didn't get it.
He was all over it.
Wow, that's the closest we've seen, Joe.
When he first lands on the pecker,
he actually does a two-legged squat,
which is exactly what we have said you need to do,
and then launches himself.
But in doing so, he actually overshoots it right here.
Yep.
He couldn't get a hold of that...
pecker plume.
♪♪
Ben Rogers' tee shot.
♪♪
Slowly making its way down.
Ben: Be good.
He'll need to get the kick off
that last piece of wood.
Get a good kick.
Oh, he's got the kick to the left.
Get in.
It's good.
Ohh.
And it settles in close to the cup.
Now, Ben Rogers, can he conquer the pecker?
How hard could this be?
Hmm.
[ Laughs ]
Ben Rogers is looking at the pecker.
Can he get the red plume?
Here he goes, jumps onto the pecker.
Timing, perfect.
He's gonna get this!
He got it.
He did!
Ben Rogers, the first time in the history of the show
that any competitor has conquered the pecker.
And he's got the red plume,
and he avoids the stroke penalty.
He timed it perfect. Look at that.
Just like we talked about. Look at the execution.
He's in control enough to get the plume.
It's done.
That was extraordinary.
This is the kind of pro performance we want.
Remember, Ben did not incur a stroke penalty
here on the pecker,
so this putt will be for the win
and a place in the season finale.
The plaid jacket is his!
The Golden Putter will be in his grasp!
Ben Rogers, The Aussie...
Let's go!
...has won on "Holey Moley."
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
Let's go!
Ben Rogers made the comment that "Holey Moley" is for closers,
and he played his best when he needed to.
Here's the Golden Putter, mate.
Thank you very much.
Tessitore: Golden Putter in his grasp.
And now the moment that all extreme mini golfers dream of,
putting on the plaid jacket.
Riggle: Looking good.
And now a word from our resident golf pro, Stephen Curry.
Be bold, be strong.
And remember, always get the ball in the hole
using as few strokes as possible.
What an inspiring night of extreme mini golf.
We're gonna see you next time
right here on "Holey Moley."
